The sharper a knife blade is, the harder it is considered to be, and steel is generally harder than stainless steel. Steel has a tendency to rust, so it has been said that \"a blade that rusts cuts better.\" GINSAN is a special steel material that combines the best of both worlds, being steel yet developed to be rust-resistant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Nashiji?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNashiji refers to a rough, pear-skin-like surface. In traditional crafts, it is used as one of the processing techniques for textiles and maki-e lacquerware, and it is also widely used in textured finishes. (Although sandblasting has a similar feel and appearance, the fundamental difference is that a sandblasted finish has a concave surface, while a Nashiji finish has a convex surface.) It is a simple and matte finish that conveys the handmade feel of a craftsman and has a strong presence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is an Aizome Knife?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAizome (indigo dyeing), known for its antibacterial and deodorizing effects, has supported our lives for centuries. The \"Aizome Knife\" was born by incorporating this technique, achieving both functionality and visual appeal. It is a product that combines Sakai cutlery, a tradition of Osaka, with indigo dyeing rooted in Tokushima's history. This \"craftsman collaboration\" by artisans from different regions and with different skills aims to enhance added value by combining the strengths of their respective techniques. The Aizome Knife project also aims to benefit multiple regions through a single product and revitalize traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Please enjoy the collaboration of these artisanal skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"エディットジャパン公式ショップ","offers":[{"title":"Unnecessary \/ Unnecessary","offer_id":44817469636860,"sku":null,"price":211.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Unnecessary \/ No match gift (+500 yen)","offer_id":44817469669628,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Unnecessary \/ Comes with a gift (+500 yen)","offer_id":44817469702396,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/6842\/1116\/files\/1_5195f1ad-d150-4755-a67a-8f1eca450ccf.jpg?v=1701060843","url":"https:\/\/editjapan-store.com\/en-na\/products\/aibocho-ginsan-nashiji-santoku","provider":"エディットジャパン公式ストア","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
